In fact, I would bet that such a "finisher" robot will be highly desirable. In this game, for a team that isn't "AAA," being successful is as easy as being able to gain and give control of the ball in a controlled manner. If I happened to be in a picking position, that would be the number one thing I was looking for: robots that can easily pass and be passed to.
